Description
Lifeboat is a fast-paced card game of intrigue and survival where 4 to 6 players are adrift in a tiny lifeboat, trying to be the first to reach land with the most treasure. As supplies run low, greed, love, and hatred mix, and players must take sides and make tough decisions to come out on top. With secret loves and enemies among the passengers, no one knows when landfall will occur, adding an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability to the game. Players must use their wits and negotiation skills to guide the boat's course, grab loot, and outmaneuver their opponents. With a playtime of just 60 minutes and easy-to-learn rules, Lifeboat is the perfect game for a fun and thrilling evening with friends. Designed by Jeff Siadek and first published in 2002, this game has become a classic, with several expansions available to add even more excitement to the gameplay.
